Hey there scfo - thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us.

From what I gather you're looking for something like the Dropbox Badge, but for FileMaker 11 instead - am I on the right track?

In general, we recommend that people do not sync live databases with Dropbox since most databases have remote access methods anyway and you don't need to sync the live database. You can sync saved snapshots, however, with no issues.

In any case, please let us know more and we'll take it from there.
